The owner is somewhat overbearing and frightens away paying customers. His fears about carryins at the drive in have been so neurotic that he not only reads a a disclaimer style rules list at the gate, but also cranes his neck to see into your car and look for anything (a soda of instance) for which he can bar you. On a recent trip my husband and I went in, with little more than a giggle at his speech, to wait for my mother to join us, but she was asked to throw out her mostly empty can of soda. She didnt have a cooler or snacks... just a quarter can of soda. If he had let her in with it she would have inevitably have purchased more soda and snacks, but instead she felt insulted by his overzealous and overbearing behaviour and left. I understand his intentions: profits at movies theaters are largely drawn from concessions. BUT making your customers feel harassed to the point that they opt of attending and returning will close your gates. Seriously if have a lack of business there are several things you could do other than harass your customers: 1) Lower the cost of your supply chain by seeking out more competitive vendors 2) Increase marketing to high schools and colleges (student nights and attached discounts /coupons) 3) Creating up-grade combos to encourage multiple item purchases-ex: family feast- 2 pizzas, 4 sodas, large popcorn, 1 candy (then price just slightly under the total of the products individually) 4) Renovating the menu with lighter fare - make it a dining location outside of the movies, so that showing are full always 5) pre-sell tickets (perhaps with reserved seating) - theres an app for this.... In general if you lack customers... you CANT make your customers feel like you directly blame them. You have to look for ways to encourage the purchase of your own products (meaning your concessions). Make them better than what they can bring in and they will to eat your food, not to avoid eating it.

Fucku Hecho

DO NOT VISIT THIS THEATER! THEY ARE RUNNING A SCAM PURPOSELY CHARGING THE WRONG AMOUNT TO VULNERABLE PEOPLE; THIS IS THEFT. I took three young children to watch a movie and the person in charge of tickets would not issue my a receipt, I understood the price was on the tickets so I didnt make a big deal--no receipts for concessions either which was a huge red flag. When we got home and I did the math I realized the reason the ticket man would not give me a receipt is because he had over charged me almost ten dollars. Went to speak to the owner and he said; "I wasnt here so whatcha want me to do about it" and was incredibly rude and told me if I wanted my money back I could file a police report.

The owner (Duke Goetz) is very rude, condescending, overbearing and doesnt care enough for his 3rd generation business to invest any money into its appearance. To mention a few issues, its cold in the winter, and hot in the summer. When it rains you have to wait in the rain to buy your tickets, and the bathrooms are disgusting. If I could give this establishment a zero rating I would, and I pray for the day when someone respectable buys this establishment and improves the appearance of our historical square.

The owner was incredibly rude. He seriously should step out of it and let someone else manage it. They need repairs badly and it smells from leaks and most likely mold. Sound quality isnt great and they are overpriced but when you are a theatre on the square Im sure to make profit you have to price high. Still, not my first choice. GREAT POPCORN THOUGH!!!! Yummmmmm

The sound needs a lot of work. Compare the Goetz to the Classic Cinemas Lindo in Freeport IL, not more the 25 miles south of here. Lindo wins. As a Monroe citizen, Id like Goetz to take note and improve, but, perhaps they dont care and the $ is more important. Says a lot about them...

When you call they tell you the matinees price is $3.50 when u get there to watch the matinees you are charge $6.50. ask why they blow you off and dont answer your question on why it is 3 dollars more then it tells you when u call the number to hear times and prices.

Only accepts cash, sound quality of the theatre is poor, and they cut off the end credits of a Marvel movie because they wanted to pack up early. Serviceable if youre in the area and desperately need a theatre, but its a minimal quality experience.

This place is the worst theater you could ever go to. Its s dive, roof leaks, bathroom stinks and the sinks leak into the buckets below. Popcorn is made fresh, WEEKLY. Great theater in days gone by. SUGGEST new owner, or new theater.

We frequently see our movies here. It is an old theater that has charm and some issues, but we are fortunate to have a theater nearby offering current movies at a fraction of the price of the larger chains.

I enjoy the movies showed here. I would rather watch a good movie in this theater than fight the crowds and pay a lot more in other places.

Cool atmosphere on the local square. Cash only. Sound system is not well tuned, sometimes difficult to hear voices.

Poor sound quality. And dont ever go see a marvel movie here as they dont show the whole movie.

Britt Gempeler

Great movie with old world charm

Owners a jerk, overpriced food.
